Sunday Buddy Read September
September back to school and well, back to 1997 for parts of this book as the characters with in set out to their 25th high school reunion…….
A hilarious, heartfelt story about four lifelong friends determined to change their lives, come hell (terrible bosses, ex-husbands living next door) or high water (laundry…so much laundry) from the acclaimed author of Last Summer at the Golden Hotel.
Melissa Levin, Priya Chowdhury, Tara Taylor, and Suki Hammer were going places when they graduated high school in 1997. Their yearbook superlatives were Most Likely to Win the White House, Cure Cancer, Open a Michelin-Starred Restaurant, and Join the Forbes 400, respectively. Fast forward twenty-five years and nothing has gone according to plan.
Reunited at their reunion, the women rethink their younger selves. Is it too late to make their dreams come true? Fueled by nostalgia and one too many drinks, they form a pact to push through their middle-aged angst to bring their youthful aspirations to fruition, dubbing themselves the “Most Likely Girls.”
Through the ensuing highs and lows, they are reminded of the enduring bonds of friendship, the ways our childhood dreams both sustain and surprise us — and why it’s never a good idea to peak too early.
My thoughts so far
We read this authors book Last Summer at the Golden Hotel and enjoyed it quite a bit. I may be a bit *old* for this book as the characters graduate in 1997 🤫👀 and I hated loathed despised high school.
Hoping for a light easy read as we start the school year and activities.
Not too sure where summer went … what an odd season we had.
